In Trump's case, it shows that he has no regard for the medal's true intent and meaning. Trump views it just a trinket to be handed out as freely and carelessly as he passes out the souvenir "presidential" challenge coins.

I hate him. I also hate his wife and kids. There's only ONE politician whom I hate equally... and I will surely dance with glee when either one takes their last breath. Nobody lives forever and with each passing day, he's getting closer and closer to a stroke, or aneurysm, or myocardial infarction, or... if we're lucky... Covid19. So whatever the lord chooses, that's fine with me. I've got my clogging shoes all polished up and ready to go.

Trump’s greatest joy in life is to troll the liberals. Notice that all the people Trump has awarded this medal to are people liberals despise, like Edwin Meese and Pigboy Limbaugh.

hateful propaganda.

But we will get out of this nightmare and leave it behind if we all work together like Hillary asked.
